OPINION AT THE CONSULATE.
In an interview with the resident
Hawaiian Consul, Mckinley, the lat
ter stated that, so far as was known at
the Consulate, the action of the King
was satisfactory, and that peace would
be fully restored to the kingdom. The
government has been constituted en-
tirely anew, and it is fair to hope that
all the former abuses will cease and a
radical reform be inaugurated.
GIBSON ARRESTED.
After the proceedings at the Palace
were over Colonel V. V. Ashford and
posse of the Honolulu rifles pro-
ceeded to the residence of Gibson, in
the Palace square, and arrested that
individual and his son-in-law, Hay
selden. During the night Gibson
made an incipient attempt to escape,
and had he succeeded there is no
doubt he would have fallen into the
hands of the infuriated populace and
probably lost his life. Shortly after
ex- Minister Gibson and his son-in-law
Hayselden were imprisoned in the
warehouse, six mounted rifiemen and
other guards wer9 detailed to look
after them, and they will be watched
night and day until further orders are
received from the Citizens Commit
tee.
A sCATHING EDITORIAL.
In an extra edition of the Honolulu
Gazette issued ON the day the Mari
posa sailed the follow mention is made
of the fallen minister: cit is a sad
commentary ON this mans whole
career to think that he has lived sc
long and escaped the gallows in other
lands to be captured by the very class
he laughed at and spurned in the past
but who now have the whip hand on
this miserable apology for a human
being and will see to it that justice is
meted out to him to the full extent,
and who will also compel him and his
son-in-law to disgorge some at least OF
their illgotten gains which they sue
ceeded in filching from the public. II
is a long lane that has no turn and il
is pleasant to know that this brace OF
accomplished swindlers of the public
here reached their goal and then
powers to do further mischief is frus-
trated." =.
OUTSIDE INTERVENTION.
The ire of the populace is reused
against George w. Macfarlane q Co.
for bringing in rifles and ammunition
from Australia to to bolster up the
Gibson government and Macfarlane's s
party has hastened to deny every
thing. The arms were sent by HOf-
nung d Co. of Sydney, N. S. W., and
at the time of the seizure great
crowd went to the dock with the
Honolulu Rifles ready for fight.
When these munitions were taken, the
last hope OF the Gibson faction ex-
pired as the citizens have hunted out
every large supply of firearms. The
rifles imported from Australia are OF
British manufacture part being Enfield
and part Martini-Henry rifles. The
Iex-Minister took good care that there
would be an abundance of ammuni-
ton having ordered an additional sup
ply from Sydney, and the extent OF his
preparation would have been made
manifest when the next steamer from
Sydney reaches Honolulu. "A detach-
ment of the Honolulu Rifles has been
assigned the duty OF watching every
steamer coming in.
HIDING THE RECORDS.
On the night of June Both J. 5,
Walker, ditor-General, and F. 5,
Pratt, Register of Public Accounts,
were noticed to carry from the palace
a basketful of documents, which are

with the opium bribery cases.
